NetMirror has access to content from 50+ OTT platforms, which means the library includes everything from children's cartoons to adult-rated content. If your children use the same device, setting up parental controls is essential.
NetMirror v6.0 includes a comprehensive parental control system that lets you filter content by age rating, lock mature content behind a PIN, and set screen time limits.
Step 1: Enable Parental Controls
- Open NetMirror and go to ⚙️ Settings
- Scroll to "Parental Controls"
- Tap "Enable Parental Controls"
- Create a 4-digit PIN that only you (the parent) know
- Confirm the PIN
Once enabled, the PIN will be required to:
- Access content rated above your set limit
- Change parental control settings
- Disable parental controls
Step 2: Set Age Rating Limit
| Rating | Age Range | Content Allowed | Content Blocked |
|---|---|---|---|
| U (Universal) | All ages | Children's shows, cartoons, family movies | Everything else |
| U/A 7+ | 7 years+ | + Mild fantasy, light action | Violence, romance, horror |
| U/A 13+ | 13 years+ | + Teen dramas, moderate action, PG-13 | Adult content, graphic violence |
| A (Adult 18+) | 18 years+ | All content (unrestricted) | Nothing blocked |
Recommendation: Set to U/A 7+ for children under 10, and U/A 13+ for teenagers.
Step 3: Block Specific Categories
Beyond age ratings, you can block entire content categories:
- Horror — Blocks all horror movies/shows
- Crime/Thriller — Blocks crime dramas and thrillers
- Romance — Blocks romance-heavy content
- Documentary (Adult) — Blocks true-crime and sensitive documentaries
Toggle each category on/off in Settings → Parental Controls → Category Filters.
Step 4: Set Screen Time Limits (Optional)
NetMirror includes a screen time feature to limit how long your children can watch:
- Go to Settings → Parental Controls → Screen Time
- Set a daily limit (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours)
- When the limit is reached, playback pauses and a PIN is required to continue
- The timer resets at midnight daily
Step 5: Lock the Settings
After configuring everything, make sure your children can't change the settings:
- The PIN is required to access parental control settings
- The PIN is required to disable parental controls
- Don't share your PIN with your children
- If you forget your PIN: uninstall and reinstall the app (this resets all settings)
